Abstract : In situ gels are now among the most widely used and widely available systems. These systems minimize drug administration frequency because of their special sol-to-gel transition properties, increasing patient comfort. Other benefits of these systems include easy production, improved adherence, and ease of use. 'Sol-gel' produces a colloidal suspension or solution by hydrolyzing the precursor and then polymerizing it through condensation. These in situ gelling techniques gel at the accomplishment site because they can be administered as solutions. Recently, several researchers developed liposomes, microspheres, nanoemulsions, nanospheres, and other in situ gelling systems. One of the greatest innovative drug delivery methods to date is the "in situ gel" system, which promotes better patient comfort and compliance as well as a prolonged and regulated release of the medication. With in situ gel formation, a variety of natural and synthetic polymers may find application in oral, ophthalmic, transdermal, buccal, intraperitoneal, parenteral, injectable, rectal, and vaginal routes. Research on the in-situ gel system has a lot of potential to offer cutting-edge methods for medication delivery systems.

Keywords : In Situ Gels, Sol-Gel, Polymers, Innovative Drug Delivery, Patient Comfort.
